In Mid 20's with Puffy Eyes and Pink Blood Vessels Under Eye? (photo)

I am a female in my mid 20's & I am developing larger bags under my eyes & my left eye is puffier.Could it be caused by sleeping on that side of my body? The crease of my under eye bags is extremely pink & appears to be a bunch of red blood vessels & my left eye is worse. I have gone to a vein and laser center but they think that I have puffy eyes due to my allergies. I use creams, had microderm and facial peel and nothing I do seems to help. I am desperate for recommendations.

Make sure your allergies are under control with nasal sprays, antihistamines environmental controls, allergy testing, etc.

I had a consultation with one plastic surgeon; I told him that I didn't like the area under my eyes and the area on my cheek bone and he looked at me and said he couldn't help me and that he didnt see what i was talking about. Its clearly there so I don't understand!!!! Any recommendations? Do I consult another surgeon?
